Pajamas TV Seeks Algorithm for College Grad Earnings

Internet TV company aids grass-roots movement

economyConservative Internet TV company Pajamas TV has launched multiple initiatives to report on the economy and how it will affect future generations.

Contest

Last month the organization launched its “Generational Theft Contest.” College students can enter by to joining forces with professors to calculate the financial impact of the current economic environment on a 2009 college graduate. From Fox Business:

In particular, PJTV is looking for the best method or tool to forecast a bachelor’s degree holder’s annual income in 2014, 2019, 2024 and 2034 after factoring in the cost of current government programs, including TARP and TALF, and stimulus packages, including their associated interest payments, health-care reform, inflation, taxes, etc.

The grand prize is $10,000 for the college student or student team, and $10,000 for the professor. That should keep them from needing payday loans for a while. Read up on rules of the contest and how to enter the Generational Theft Contest.
